E-Step problem after installing firmware 3.12.1

Hi,

after installing the latest firmware I had a problem with printing. I have a Bondtech wit Mosquito Magnum. The extrution was way off. When I looked at the current E-Step it was 280. I installed the correct Bondtech firmware and It was still on 280. After some google I notice that it should be on 830. But the gear ratio of the extruder is 3:1. then I should multiply 280 with 3. 840 E-steps. But when I measure the used filament of 100 mm the 840 is still too low. With 860 the filament used over 100 mm is exact. Can someone with a Bondtech enter here the default E-Step. It can easily find with a M503 command in octoprint terminal. It is in the M92 line.  the value starts with an E

RE: E-Step problem after installing firmware 3.12.1

the extruder configuration is a combination of Stepper motor Microstepping setting and e steps per millimetre, 

if something changed to mess up your settings, you may have to reset both.

After the reset and recalibrate everything works fine.

I contacted also Bondtech support and they set the microstepping is changed to X16 Y16 Z16 E16

and e-step is lower to E415.00.

 

Everything works fine now.
